Tristan Blackmon’s penalty fires Whitecaps to second Voyageurs Cup crown

July 26, 2022 Christopher Vose

Vancouver Whitecaps finally claimed their second Voyageurs Cup as Ryan Gauld, Brian White, Julian Gressel, and Andrés Cubas duly scored from the spot after the match ended one apiece after regulation time ended. Domenico Criscito, Jordan Perruzza, and Federico Bernardeschi scored for Toronto, with only Jonathan Osorio hitting the post.

This meant that it all came down to Tristan Blackmon, a defender. Score and Vancouver would be off to the CONCACAF Champions League. Anything else, and Toronto would have the opportunity to equalise. Unnerved by the stakes, the 25-year old cheekily sent it straight down the middle, as Alex Bono dove to the right.

Five minutes into the match, it would not be remiss to think that the Whitecaps were the away team, as they sat back, while Toronto, the actual away team, were the ones doing all the pressing. Vancouver was fortunate not to concede an early goal, as Toronto's running was breaking them apart.

It was all Toronto. The Reds had clear leads in terms of possession, corners, shots, both total and on target, crosses, passes, overall, in the opponents half, and the final third. The Whitecaps did have an answer, but it's not the kind of answer that is likely to lead to long term success.

So Toronto FC have bought themselves an anthem. We're not too surprised, their parent organisation, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, have so much money that anthropomorphic ducks swimming through it is a genuine concern. They have money to burn, and they frequently do. The actual song they bought, Love Me Again by John Newman, is an immensely likeable song. It's catchy, memorable, the kind of song you can dance to, and it will get stuck in your head. Listen to it at your own risk, but if you do, be sure to listen all the way through. Trust us, it's worth the wait.

"We're not an organisation that's afraid to think outside of the box," said Toronto FC chairman Tim Bezbechkeno. "We take risks. Sometimes they work out, sometimes they don't. That's football at the highest level."
